I've been shocked by how many Aspie's on this forum I've seen who believe in God. I always thought it was my Asperger's syndrome that made me think very rationally, logically and straightforward, and was why I'm an atheist. I'll give a reason why I don't believe, and I'd like to hear why you do or don't too.
To put it short, I don't believe in God because I feel the theory of God has many rational flaws and doesn't seem logical. The ways Christians describe him seem to contradict each other and no one ever gets "damned to hell", for example, when someone says they are. I don't also believe in Heaven or Hell for the same reason, along with all other supernatural things. Another reason is there's simply no suitable proof. When Christians say "The Universe" or "The world around you" is proof, that's crap. There are billions and trillions of possibilities to the causation of the Universe and everything in it. One cannot simply attribute it to one being. It's completely illogical. Until I've seen an appropriate proof, I shall continue to not be able to believe in God's existence, as there's no logical reason to without proof. And it doesn't work the way that some Christians think, which is that "Atheists can't prove he doesn't exist". You need proof of his existence first, otherwise he either doesn't exist, or you can't know if he does. You can't prove his existence by the lack of evidence of his non-existence, and anyway, there's quite a bit of evidence for him not existing.
Anyway, after all that "venting" as people call it, what are your views?
